Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 537 - 350: Electromagnetic Field Amplification

"A 25-year-old Legendary Mutant, tsk tsk..."

Ke Mingshan couldn’t help but feel admiration and an indescribable envy.

As one of the world’s top ether scientists, his greatest regret in life was his insufficient talent; he had an abundance of theory but couldn’t put it into practice, to experience the powerful sensation of immense strength within himself.

The researchers present looked at Ji Xinghuo with reverence in their hearts, fully aware of how difficult it was for a Mutant to evolve to the rank of Legendary.

It was a level that countless Mutants could not reach in their lifetimes.

Yet Ji Xinghuo had done it in just three years!

Of the five Support Mutants who assisted him, two were Legendary, but they were both over seventy years old and had been nurtured by the Ether Research Institute; their strength was average among Legendaries, they weren’t well-known, and they didn’t make it to the Legendary rankings.

In contrast to Ji Xinghuo, a Legendary Mutant who had made a name for himself all the way, there was a world of difference in strength.

What was most frightening was that Ji Xinghuo was only 25!

"You’ve set a new record," Ke Mingshan commended, "Before you, the youngest global Legendary Mutant was Cheng Sheng, who reached Legendary at 28, but you’ve beaten him by three years."

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

This Cheng Sheng was also "one of us," a Mutant within the core power circle of the Asia-Pacific Community, third on the Legendary list, known as the "Hidden Dragon," but since Cheng Sheng spent most of his time in the Star Realm, Ji Xinghuo had never met him.

There is a benchmark line for Mutants on Earth.

Becoming a Super Mutant before thirty gave one a chance to ascend the ladder, belonging to the world’s top talents.

And those who escalated to Legendary before thirty were few and far between across the globe.

Steel Emperor, "Marshal" Wu Huai’an, "Divine Walker" Jeffrey, "Hidden Dragon" Cheng Sheng, and others.

All of these individuals were extremely renowned.

Of course, it wasn’t to say that becoming a Legendary Mutant before thirty guaranteed invincibility the world over; Li Xuan also evolved to Legendary two months before his 30th birthday, and is now a Heavenly King, but he ranks at the bottom among Heavenly Kings in strength.

Those who advanced to Legendary after thirty also weren’t necessarily beyond catching up.

Age is just a reference.

Having great cultivation speed without powerful strength is just a name with no substance; there are a multitude of such Mutants.

However, Ji Xinghuo becoming a Legendary Mutant at 25 was a record that, once spread, was bound to cause a global sensation.

Especially since he was going to have a showdown with Li Xuan in a week.

"Director Ke, please keep this a secret for a few days for me," Ji Xinghuo requested.

Ke Mingshan clearly knew about that bet, and smiled saying, "I will impose a gag order in the institute. No researcher present is allowed to leak any information."

"Yes, Director," the researchers promptly affirmed.

Even if Ke Mingshan didn’t give the order, they wouldn’t dare to speak carelessly. With Ji Xinghuo’s strength and position, to do otherwise would only offend him.

Ke Mingshan warmly asked, "You’ve just advanced; would you like to conduct some tests?"

"No need, thanks for your kindness, Director Ke," Ji Xinghuo declined with a smile. Before, he had allowed them to research on him for the sake of advancing to Legendary, but now, there was no need for that; keeping a Mutant’s bodily data secret is essential.

"What a pity..."

Ke Mingshan shook his head in regret. A rare Mutant individual like Ji Xinghuo was something he would never encounter again in his lifetime.

Of course, he didn’t dare to insist; after all, Ji Xinghuo was someone from the higher echelons.

Ji Xinghuo left the Ether Research Institute.

He was alone today, as Zhao Manying had a match that evening and had to train with the team during the day, while his older brother Zhong Ming went to an away match.

He returned home.

Upon entering, he saw Qing Hong sprawling on the sofa, glued to the projection screen showing a children’s educational cartoon. It held a large packet of chips in its front paws, intermittently feeding itself.

Surrounding it were opened snack wrappers and remnants of barbecue, with litter scattered on the ground.

Upon Ji Xinghuo’s entrance, Qing Hong turned to bark at him once, then immediately continued watching.

"Eat less junk food," Ji Xinghuo said, feeling helpless but refraining from reprimanding it. For a Flood Level spiritual creature, consuming such things was utterly trivial, merely pastime.

He entered the Cultivation Room, and the first thing he did was to open the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface.

[Wanxiang Star Pupil Master: Ji Xinghuo]

[Race: Earth Human]

[Rank: Legendary]

[Star Power: 20233/20233]

[Spiritual Origin Ability: 8180]

The interface to the left displayed brief Mutant information, while the right showed his own human image, marked with the eighteen Abilities he had fused with. As he concentrated, the upgrade progress of each Ability was revealed.

This evolution had brought various degrees of improvement to most Abilities, with "Instant Step" growing the most, rising from the Fifth Level to the Sixth.

[Ability: Instant Step (Sixth Level 1317/33331)]

This saved him over ten thousand points of Spiritual Origin Ability.

"Thunderbolt Hand" also went from (Fifth Level 3475/10033) to (Sixth Level 408/35353).

The Rotating Magnetic Field, Electrostatic Field, Overclocking Thought, Star Force, and Alien Coexistence Abilities also saw significant improvements, with progress increasing between 3000 and 7000 points, but without upgrading.

The higher the Level of an Ability, the lesser the improvement.

Evolution is the most important method for the majority of Mutants to enhance their Abilities; a single evolution could equate to many years of strenuous Ability training.

For Ji Xinghuo as well, it was beneficial, saving him a total of over fifty thousand points of Spiritual Origin Ability.

Subsequently, he conducted a thorough test on himself.

His bench press Strength surged to 300 tons. His Defense, Speed, Recovery, Resistance, and Neural Response had all increased substantially. Even without using Star Power or Abilities, relying solely on his body’s strength, he had reached levels unimaginable to ordinary people.
